expressing life's narratives creatively

Sheets of Egyptian Cotton

I think the text on the page says it all – DEFINITELY an ephemeral moment – pulling back the covers to get into a bed covered with luscious, new, crisp white cotton

sheets…..YUM! Only 2 more sleeps till we are off to the Land of the Kiwi….. where I will be experiencing all kinds of sheets & beds – always a concern for travellers – an uncomfortable bed. It is only when you are travelling 5 star all the way that you can be pretty confident that your bed will be ok and your sheets will be fresh. At home we have a fabulous bed & lovely sheets – an indulgence to help with my sleep problems & I always miss it when we go away. My tradition, last thing before we go away anywhere is to change our bed & put fresh sheets on it to come home. The first night back at home with fresh sheets is something we fantasize about when we are on our way home!

I have been blessed with the same award several times this week, which is both an honour & a priviledge. I never quite know what to say – I am glad that you appreciate my art, however it is somewhat self serving in that I do it as much for my own health & wellbeing as any of the lovely responses from you guys. (Obviously, your kind words are appreciated though) I now need to nominate 10 other people who make my day – an easy task to be sure – there are SUCH fabulous artists & artwork around in blogland it is more difficult to restrict it to 10. These people would be all of my special friends listed in my side bar – I can’t pick & choose between them, they all are skillful artists with special talents. Debbi does lovely compositions; Anne, Kelly Rae & Gaby all have a fabulous sense of colour & drama; Jo’s beautiful work always has an element of sparkle & mischief about it, I ALWAYS learn something deep & meaningful from Kelsey & her art using quotes……..Cynthia’s artwork amazes me – seconded only by Abby & Jenene (who don’t have blogs right now) – I am happy & contented in the knowledge that in a busy throw away world the ethos of art for art sake flourishes & is alive & well.

Well enjoy your trip to the land of the Kiwi’s may you be blessed with clean, fresh sheets whilst there lol
This piece is so true and I too can relate to it – the smell, the feel – aah clean fresh sheets!!!!

Keron, I can totally relate to how good fresh sheets feel to climb between… I also love that!!
I also came here for another reason tonight and I see that you inspire more people than just me… I’m not surprised :-)) I also just got done giving you a “You Make My Day” Award.http://artbywanda.blogspot.com/

thanks for visiting …….

hi there, greetings from my creative space to yours....... having been creative my whole life. My creative pursuits include cooking, painting, art with a needle and photography...........these often come together in some form of artistic narrative. This takes the form of 2d paper (ATC's, postcards, etc) handmade books, journals, canvases & occasionally an assemblage. I dabble in digital creation using my photos to create a whole new picture - but that is mostly to make up for my inadequate drawing skills. Professionally, as an interior designer - at least part of my week is spent creating homes and spaces for people to express their life in. Like Chargall 'I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment' and move comfortably between my mixed media studio table, the kitchen, my patchwork/quilting/embroidery basket, or the computer.
Thoughts and images here range from art and creativity, techniques, photography, show and tell to family and baby news and travel.. I am keen to share with you BOTH my art successes and failures because I am not putting myself forward as anyone special -like most of us - just a work in progress, arting along the way ........ Grab yourself a cup or glass of something to relax with and have a look around.
